They still had plenty of covers to fill out the running time, but the Lennon-McCartney writing team was gathering steam and beginning to knock out pop classics as if they were pulling them out of thin air. "All My Loving" and "I Wanna Be your Man" come from this record, issued hurriedly to capitalize on English Beatlemania. But even when they were laying into some classic Chuck Berry, by this time the Beatles had acquired a unique sound in the blend of John's and Paul's voices, while George was coming on by leaps and bounds as a guitar player. While not absolutely essential, as a snapshot of a band in a place and time, With the Beatles is good for a smile. --Chris Nickson

 "With The Beatles" remastered CD. April 26, 2010

This wasn't the best time period for The Beatles, as songwriters, but it did give them the exposure that they needed, as well as, the beginning of what was later to become, they're signature sound, as a band. After that, the rest was history.
 The Beatles 2nd album. Historical yet uneven. April 17, 2010

"With the Beatles" is the second studio album from The Beatles. With 8 of the 14 songs written by the band, this is a mixture of 1950's style songs and songs that are reminiscent of the harmonizing girl groups that proceeded them. The George Harrison song, "Don't Bother Me" is enjoyable but not memorable. George would not write another song for two years after this. The songs "Little Child", "Hold Me Tight" and "I Wanna Be Your Man" are likable but a little immature in retrospect. "Not a Second Time" is one of the few bad songs they every did.
The remaining songs written by The Beatles from this album have the catchy youthful adolescent bounce and optimism which everyone loved so much. These upbeat songs really rang a bell with a grieving American public considering they were released in the months following the assassination of President Kennedy. Lastly, the song "Money" is one of the best cover songs The Beatles ever performed or recorded.
Even after all these years, the matching suits, the mop haircuts and the groundbreaking concept of naming four guys one thing has lost much of it's meaning. But the hook of The Beatles remains the same. Their music is bright and youthful but sung in sad minor keys. Their sad off-key vocalizing only adds to this. Optimistic yet sad and bright yet melancholy is forever the hook of the early music from The Beatles.
"With the Beatles" is recommended.

This record came out in November 1963 and because my dad was in the record business I got it just before Christmas and I was as blown away by it as I was with Please, Please Me. I had pretty much memorized ever line of every song on this record by the time the American version, "Meet the Beatles" came out late in January, 1964, which had a different running order and included the new number one song, "I Want to Hold Your Hand". which wasn't on this record. After I wore out my copy of this record, it would be the American version that I'd be playing for years to come and, of course, for years I've had "I Want to Hold Your Hand" in my iTunes playlist.
This record was huge, mega huge. By now the Beatles really had taken the world by storm and I'd been waiting for the release, knowing my dad would get it for me from England before it came out in America. But I had other stuff on my mind, as did the rest of the world, on that said day of Novermber 22, 1963 when this record came out, for that was the day President Kennedy was shot dead in Dallas.
This record helped me through the grieving as I'm sure it did for so many others, for in a time of horrible sadness, songs like, "All My Loving," "I Wanna Be Your Man," and "I Want to Hold Your" hand were playing on the radio, lifting our spirits. This record came out at exactly the right time. It was good for me, good for my friends, good for America. This is not only one of the best records to come out in 1963, it's one of the best records of all time.
 Poor quality March 6, 2010

Like my dad I really love The Beatles but we were both very dissapointed when we sat down with a good glass of wine to listen to the CD we ordered. It didnt take long before we turned the CD off. Its was what we both called a "flat" sound. We couldnt believe we spent money on such poor quality sound! We compared the sound quality to the old tapes dad had and we quickly disposed the CDs. It wasnt only this particular CD. We ordered 3 CDs of The Beatles and they were all "bad". They were all lacking the sound depth. Just to compare we borrowed the same CDs from my dads friend, but recorded in 1994. Beautifull sound depth! Im sorry Amazon.com but the CDs does not deserve even one star for such poor sound quality.

I did an experiment. I have 'The Capitol Albums Vol 1.' boxset released in 2004. The first 4 U.S. releases are in there, remastered, with stereo and mono cuts. I made CDs with all three cuts, the Capitols from 2004 and the 2009 Remasters. You can recreate 'With The Beatles' by adding cuts from 'Meet The Beatles' and 'The Beatles Second Album'. I then listened to the cuts one after the other, choosing from each group of 3 the best to my ears. Out of the 14 cuts that make up the 2009 Remastered 'With the Beatles', only 2 were superior, 'Till There Was You', and 'I Wanna Be Your Man'. 'Till There Was You' sounds better I think because it's a ballad with acoustic guitar prominent. I also found the 2009 Remasters worked better with ballads on the 'Please Please Me' 2009 Remaster. It seems that the rocking songs sounded better on the 2004 Capitol Boxset, with an almost even split between stereo and mono versions. Of course they're all superior to the dreadful 1987 releases.
